Symptoms of plantar fasciitis

  • Sharp heel pain on first steps in the morning
  • Pain after long periods of standing
  • Tightness in the calf

Treatment approaches

Most cases of plantar fasciitis respond very well to physiotherapy. Common modalities include:

Manual Therapy

Hands-on techniques including joint mobilisation, soft tissue massage, myofascial release and trigger point therapy. Used to reduce pain, restore movement and break down adhesions in muscles and connective tissue.

Exercise Therapy

The cornerstone of modern physiotherapy. Progressive, individualised exercises restore strength, mobility and motor control — the only intervention proven to produce long-term changes in tissue and function.

Dry Needling

Fine needles inserted into trigger points to release tight muscle bands. Effective for chronic muscle tension, headaches, and stubborn pain that doesn't respond to massage alone. Different from acupuncture in approach and goal.

Electrotherapy

Modalities like TENS, ultrasound, IFT and laser used to reduce pain and inflammation, especially in the early stages of injury. Always combined with exercise — never used as a standalone treatment.
